At one point in this project there was a hint that the project would be
completed then made unairworthy and used for ground instruction purposes

bureaucrats jostling for attention or something.

did you know that Midland TAFE in WA once built 2 bushby or mini
mustangs. as a part of an adult (I think) aviation skills workshop
series.

despite all attempts by the guys to buy them, absolve tafe of all
liability, etc the goons in the admin end of things saw to it that
they were dismantled, engines and instruments flogged off then put
through a guillotine.
to my knowledge the guys have never bothered with them again.

....so for Dave Bryant, never mind the challenge of building the kit,
getting it intact through the school admin and actually flying for the
school aviation program is a feat worthy of a medal.
Good on you Dave.
